The Kingdom of God has come in Jesus Christ...What does the loss of reputation, popularity, status, life itself mean in comparison with the gain of Christ Jesus? His invitation is to be treated with unconditional seriousness. What distinguishes the Christian whose faith is deep, burning, powerful, and luminous is just this seriousness. Seriousness is not the opposite of joy but of superficiality.
This is a panoramic view of Green Acres Farm here in Lincang. We are living in a building on the left side of the picture. As you can see summers are very green but now that winter is here we are surrounded by brown.
